Lorraine Kelly, who performed Happy Captain before being eliminated, appeared on her own ITV show in costume on Monday.
Speaking with The Masked Singer host Joel Dommett, the 64-year-old said: "I was quite nervous. The worst thing was trying to remember the words.”
She added: “It’s so strange when you put the head on. You can’t see anything.
“I couldn’t see you. My eyes were under the beak but I couldn’t see anything.
“They said to me ‘Look for a big green light’ because that will mean you’re facing the right way, because a lot of people face the wrong way.
“I could hear the dancers, the thumping of their feet – well, they are delicate and graceful – but until I watched it on the telly I had no idea what was going on around me.
Who guessed that none other than Lorraine was the #OWL on the Masked Singer tonight? 🦉🫣

“I’ve never sung in front of my family, never mind singing in front of an audience.”
Asked about keeping the secret from fans and those close to her, the ITV presenter said: “My husband knew, but I didn’t tell anybody. It was really hard – I wanted to tell everybody.”
Of her struggles to remember the lyrics, she added: “For the S Club 7 song Don’t Stop Moving, I kept forgetting that.
“Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep (by Middle Of The Road) is quite easy because basically it’s just ‘chirpy chirpy cheep cheep’ – even I can do that.”
After being told that other contestants pin the lyrics to the inside of their masks, she remarked: “The swines! I wish I had known that.”
